Bristol (Barton House) entered service on 19-Dec-1980 to serve a population of about 2100 people. Channel 4 was added on 2-May-1986.
Possibly one of the most uninspiring sites I've visited, this relay consists of a bunch of antennas bolted to a water tower on top of a council tower block.
It's a low power TV relay, serving areas in east central Bristol in the valley around the River Avon. Unusually the transmit polarisation is horizontal, with eight log periodics pointing south west and south east. The receive antenna is also a log periodic, and is located next to the transmit array pointing south towards Mendip. |
